Median Price means the midpoint, with half of the sales being above and half below the listed number; it is not the same as average. Median prices reflect overall market trends and are not a measure of pricing for individual properties. Small sampling sizes can lead to wide variances in year to year comparisons. “REO” means Real Estate Owned, indicating bank or mortgage company ownership. “Short” stands for Short Sale, where third party approval is required for the transaction.

Statistics are based on reporting by REALTORS® to the Southern Oregon Multiple Listing Service.
